Just Listen to Me (2)
Ghislain began talking with the three first. He had many questions, but more importantly, he lacked information about this era.
The three answered Ghislain's questions without hesitation. They still believed him to be Astion.
Since Astion was already known for his bizarre antics, they accepted the situation rather naturally.
Ghislain listened to their responses with an amused expression.
Е̂ n u m̃a..ĭd
"So, all three of you are from the same village?"
Julien nodded.

"Yeah, including you."
"Hmm. And this mage claims that other souls enter his body besides me?"
"Yeah, at first, we thought it was strange too… but now we kind of believe it."
"If you believe it, you believe it. What's with the 'kind of'?"
Е nu m̄ а̃. і̆ d̊
"Honestly, it sounds weird, but when you look at the results, it kind of makes sense."
Kyle chimed in from the side.
"Yeah, Astion knows a lot of crazy stuff. Who would’ve taught him that in a rural village? He even learned magic on his own."
Deneb nodded in agreement.

"Astion is the greatest genius in our village. There's nothing he doesn’t know. He says it's because the people possessing him told him, old sages and knights."
Hearing that, Ghislain muttered with a fascinated expression.
W̌eb́ǹ о̆ vēl̊ Ën ú m̆ а̊
"Wow, are you saying that kind of power actually exists? I can't believe it. How is something like that even possible?"
"…Aren't you from another time too?"
Julien asked, looking dumbfounded. Ghislain cleared his throat.
"Ahem, yeah. Anyway, you're all in training, right? To become stronger?"
"Yeah, Deneb is on a mission from the temple, but we decided to join her."
Ghislain nodded and asked a few more questions.

"And the reason you want to get stronger is to fight the Demonic Abyss?"
"Yeah. It'll soon be time for the Demonic Abyss to rise again. We’re going to fight it and save the world."
Julien spoke with shining eyes. His expression showed unwavering determination.
An unshakable belief with not a hint of doubt. Was this why he was called the Hero?
Anyone overhearing this conversation would probably laugh at them for dreaming the impossible. But Ghislain knew that, in the end, they would achieve their goal.
And he also knew just how incredible their accomplishments would be.
Еnùm.а̄
The true saviors of humanity. That title belonged not to him, but to them.
Ghislain chuckled.

'Hearing them say that with such bright eyes feels kind of strange.'
Then again, it was just a difference in expression. The Julien of reality also fought for the world.
Maybe people born with that kind of face were destined to play the role of a hero.
With a look of amusement, Ghislain turned to Deneb and Kyle.
Ẇеbn̄о́ v̂е l̆ Е.n̂.ü m̄ а̌
"And you guys, are you trying to save the world too?"
Deneb nodded firmly.
"Yes. It’s the duty of those who serve the Goddess."
Kyle scratched his head.

"I just want to get stronger."
"Why?"
Е̂n̈ úm̃ á
"Why? Because being the strongest is the coolest."
'Huh, this feels kind of different yet similar to Kaor.'
One way or another, all three of them had a strong desire to grow stronger, though their reasons varied slightly.
Ghislain had already learned about the Demonic Abyss from Ereneth. The Salvation Church would rise in power, and riftspawn would emerge from there.
In the past, this had happened periodically. Based on what Julien said, it seemed, ‘that time’ was approaching again and this time, even the Adversary would appear, leading to a massive war. Ghislain knew at least that much, so he nodded.
"Alright. I'll make you stronger. Just trust me. If you have any questions while we’re together, feel free to ask. And you can ask me anything you're curious about too."

The three exchanged slightly skeptical looks. They knew Astion was strange, but this time, he really felt like a different person.
Julien hesitated for a moment before asking.
"Then… What happens to Astion?"
"Hmm… I don't know?"
"Are you really, really a different person? You’re not messing with us?"
"I'm not. I'm someone else."
We̊ b̃ǹӧ v̇ е l̈ Е́ǹumӓ
"….”
The three of them wore worried expressions. The friend who had been with them all this time had suddenly disappeared, and someone else had taken his place.

Nothing like this had ever happened before, so they had no idea how to process the situation.
An awkward silence passed. Ghislain then smiled and spoke.
“Well, this Astion guy or whatever his name is will be back soon. I’m someone who will eventually leave anyway. So, until then, let’s get along.”
“Leave?”
É ṅüm а
“Yeah. So don’t worry too much. I’m only here because there’s something I wanted to see.”
The past didn’t matter much to Ghislain.
It had already happened. He figured that even if he acted freely here, it wouldn’t have a major impact on the future.
At most, he’d simply be helping them grow stronger.

‘They must have remembered me from this encounter, huh?’
That was why the mage and the Saintess had shown him their vision in the future.
Е n ū m̂ӓ
Whether he himself had told them to show it or if it had been the mage’s decision, he still wasn’t sure.
‘Well, it’s not an urgent matter right now.’
The most important task at hand was to find clues about the Adversary. On top of that, he planned to observe what had happened in the past.
“Alright, let’s get moving. It’s time to embark on our journey to become stronger.”
“Where are we going?”
At Julien’s question, Ghislain responded with one of his own.

“Are there any more bandit hideouts around here?”
“I’m not sure. If we look, we’ll probably find one.”
“Good. Then let’s start by finding one.”
“Why?”
“To get some money first.”
“Huh? Why would you steal money from bandits? To help people?”
W е̇bń ò vе.l̆ E̊nû ṁа̄
At Julien’s words, Ghislain smirked.
“Do you have a lot of money?”

“…No.”
Ghislain then turned to Deneb and Kyle.
“What about you guys? Do you have a lot of money?”
Both of them shook their heads. There was no way these kids from a rural village would have much money.
Ѐ n̄ um a
To put it nicely, the three of them looked like vagrants. Their hair was a tangled mess, and their bodies were caked with filth.
Honestly, they were beyond dirty.
Ghislain clicked his tongue and said,
“That’s why we need to rob those bastards first. I don’t like training on an empty stomach. That’s something you only do when you have no other choice. How have you guys been getting by so far?”

Julien scratched his head as he answered.
“We just… took on small village requests or helped out with odd jobs to earn money. Sometimes, we even joined monster hunts.”
Ĕn̊ ūm̃ а
“Was this your first time taking down bandits? Didn’t you take any money?”
“We’ve caught a few whenever we run into them. But aside from a bit of travel expenses, we gave most of it to the nearby villagers.”
Ghislain’s eyes widened at those words.
“What? You gave it all away?”
“Yeah. A lot of people suffered because of those bastards. So, we gave it all to them.”
Julien spoke as if it was the most natural thing in the world. Deneb nodded in agreement beside him.

Only Kyle looked slightly displeased, pouting his lips.
Ghislain glanced between Julien and Deneb and let out a small exclamation.
“Wow…”
He had helped many people in his life, but not to that extent.
And they were still so young. Their very nature was different. It was no wonder they became the Hero and the Saintess who saved the world.
However, whether their methods were efficient was another matter entirely.
Еn u̇ m̄ ӓ.і_d
‘That’s a one-time solution at best.’
If Ghislain had simply given away every bit of money he earned, that would have been the end of it.

Instead, he had used his initial earnings as capital to start businesses, greatly expanding his wealth. He firmly believed that he had to become stronger first in order to help others effectively.
And in the end, that approach had allowed him to help far more people.
Their belief wasn’t wrong. Even at their young age, they were doing their best in their own way.
In fact, the mere act of going around helping others at their age was impressive. When Ghislain had been that young in his past life, he had been too busy trying to survive.
Е̂n ǔ m̄ a_
Ghislain placed a hand on Julien’s shoulder and said,
“There’s no need to do that anymore. Just do as I say. The most important thing is that you all become stronger.”
“R-Really?”
“We’re going to raid every bandit hideout around here and secure some money first. You need to eat well and rest properly if you want to train effectively. Got it?”
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
“But… that money isn’t ours…”
“It’s fine. Everyone in this world owes you all a massive debt. Or rather, they will owe you.”
Еṅ uḿа̃ .ī.d̈
They were the Hero and Saintess who would go on to save the world. Even if kings and nobles handed over their entire fortunes, it still wouldn’t be enough.
However, the three of them frowned, unable to make sense of what he was saying.
Kyle rubbed his puffed-out cheek and asked,
“What do you mean the world owes us? If anything, we’re the ones drowning in debt.”
Ghislain was startled.
“What? You guys are in debt?”
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Kyle pointed at Deneb.
“Deneb’s parents sold her to the temple when she was little. The money they got from the temple? That’s all considered her debt.”
Ghislain turned to look at Deneb. She nodded with a dark expression.
After hearing her story, he was left speechless.
Deneb had accidentally manifested divine power, and the nearby temple had purchased her for a large sum of money.
Since divine power was mostly innate, it wasn’t uncommon for temples to take in children who displayed it at a young age by paying their families.
W̌еb̄n̊ ò v̈еl̊ E̊ǹu ṁ a
The problem was that Deneb’s divine power had remained weak. No matter how much time passed, it never grew beyond what she had as a child.
In the end, the temple only gave her some basic combat training before sending her out into the world.

And since no one wanted to accompany her, she had to go alone.
“They call it being a training priestess, but really, they just want her to go out and make money on her own. At the same time, she’s supposed to help people and boost the church’s reputation. That way, the church can show off how much they ‘serve’ the people.”
Even as Kyle grumbled, Deneb simply smiled.
“It’s fine. This is probably a trial given to me by the Goddess. It’s my own lack of ability that’s the problem.”
Ẁe b nô v̄ è l Е̄n u̇mӓ
“……”
Ghislain was momentarily speechless.
Who? Who was lacking in ability?
Deneb was the first Saintess in history, capable of using the powers of all four Great Goddesses. She simply hadn’t awakened yet. She would probably unlock her full potential during this journey.

Of course, in this era, only Ghislain knew how things would turn out. So, the frustration was his alone to bear.
Kyle continued to grumble.
W̊ēb̊ṅ o v el̇ Еǹ ǔmа
“Anyway, when we heard Deneb was going on her training journey alone, we decided to join her. We wanted to go on an adventure too.”
“You’re in debt as well?”
“I inherited all of my father’s gambling debt. I told them I’d find a way to pay it off and left. The people who lent the money didn’t really have any other choice, so they agreed.”
“Damn… What about Julien?”
“Julien’s an orphan. But some villagers cosigned loans for him, and when they all ran off… he ended up owing a merchant guild a huge debt.”
“And the guild just let him go?”

Kyle shook his head.
“There’s no way those money-grubbers would do that. Astion vouched for him. He promised to earn the money.”
“I did?”
“Yeah. Since Astion’s a mage, the merchants decided to wait and see.”
Ghislain blinked in disbelief.
They were all still so young, yet they were already burdened with debt. It was a complete disaster.
Е̇ n̆ ũ m̂а
The only one without debt among them was Astion. Since he was the most capable and intelligent of the group, everyone had listened to his guidance.
Under Astion’s leadership, they had been able to grow stronger quickly.

Even with their debts, Julien and Deneb had insisted on helping those in need first.
Even when Astion opposed it, the two never stopped aiding others.
‘Ha… These fools are drowning in debt…’
They kept giving and giving until, in the end, they even sacrificed themselves. It was admirable, but at the same time, deeply tragic.
Е̂n̈ umă .i d̊
A new thought crossed Ghislain’s mind.
‘Is there a way to seal the Demonic Abyss and save them at the same time?’
This had already happened, but now that he was here, could he change it? And if he did, what would happen to the present reality?
It would be an unbelievably difficult task, but he was curious about the possibilities.

‘Hmm… There must be a reason I was brought here. There’s no way this is just a coincidence.’
He didn’t have the answer yet. He would have to spend more time in this era to figure it out.
Ẁ е b n̂ оv́ е l̇_ Еn̈ ū m̃ a
Shaking off his thoughts, Ghislain called out cheerfully.
“Alright, I get everyone’s situation now. But we’re going to stop doing things this way. From now on, you only listen to me. Got it? So, let’s go earn some—”
— What the hell?! Who are you?! What did you do to my body?!
Ghislain couldn’t finish his sentence. Suddenly, a loud voice rang inside his head.
Startled, he focused on the voice in his consciousness.
‘Oh, the body’s original owner?’

— Who are you?! How did you take over my body?!
Astion’s panicked shout was drowned out by another voice, Dark’s.
— You! Become my subordinate!
— Ack! Who the hell is this black bastard now?!
— Ugh, why is it so cramped in here? Where did you suddenly come from?
— That’s my line! Why are there two of you inside my body?!
Ē n û m̆ȧ_. і̃ d̂
As Astion freaked out, Dark responded in a bewildered tone.
— Why do you think this is your body?
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
— What?!
— We took over, so it’s ours now.
Dark’s shameless answer made Ghislain instinctively nod in agreement.
Meanwhile, Astion, the rightful owner of the body, was left completely speechless in utter disbelief.
